Components for visualizing and analyzing sheet metal structures

Analysis Components


Display Sheet (DS)

Visualizes sheet objects with color-coded face types (flanges, bends, hems, holes). Allows filtering by face type and direction, and optional displays text info on each face.

Inputs

NameNickTypeAccessDefaultDescription
SheetSSheettreeSheet object to analyze and display
Color ModeCMIntegeritem0Coloring mode for the sheet : - By Face Type: Colors by face type (bend=blue, flange=gray, hem=cadetblue, hole=gold, thickness=red) - By Direction: Colors by bend direction (up=green, down=red, non-bends=light gray) - By Bend Group: Colors by bend group membership (each group has a unique color)
Display Text InfoTxtBooleanitemfalseToggle display of face type, ID and other details on each face
Text SizeTSIntegeritemSize of the text to display on each face
SideSIntegeritemSelect which side of the sheet to display: All, First, or Second
Face TypesFTIntegerlistSelect face types to include in visualization (flanges, bends, hems, holes, etc.)

Color Mode (CM) options:

  • 0 = By Face Type
  • 1 = By Direction
  • 2 = By Bend Group
Side (S) options:
  • -1 = All
  • 0 = First
  • 1 = Second

Outputs

NameNickTypeAccessDefaultDescription
Sheet FacesSFBreptreeThe displayed faces as BREPs, in a tree branched by face type (after the Side and Face Types filters).

Sheet Info (SI)

Summarizes a sheet: how many flanges, bends, hems, and holes (isolated, non-isolated, countersink) it has, plus the detected material thickness. It also lists per-bend data — id, angle, fold direction, and inner radius — as parallel lists. A quick way to sanity-check what the classifier found before unrolling.
